Kai Havertz's late header secured Arsenal a 2-1 victory over Brentford, catapulting them to the top of the Premier League. This win, Arsenal's third from a losing position after matches against Manchester United and Luton, highlighted Havertz's crucial role and marked Arsenal's ascent to 64 points. The match also noted the absence of Gabriel Martinelli's directness and featured a significant error and subsequent recovery by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. Brentford's manager, Thomas Frank, controversially suggested that Havertz should have been sent off before scoring. With Liverpool hosting Manchester City next, the title race remains tense.
